Monica G who puts sugar in juice? my juice is 100% from the fruit, and I don't drink juice like people drink alcohol, I only drink mix juice in the morning or before sleeping
I'm in med school and we learn a lot about how alcohol damages the body but sadly the alcohol industry doesn't let this information become popular… I hope one day they put warning labels on alcohol and commercials for alcohol like they do for tobacco products
Alcohol can do everything from light to extremely severe damage to your body and personality--anyone who has any relatives, for instance, that they've seen really dramatically change due to their drinking over the years can easily see this. My Dad went from great, friendly, playful when I was young to sullen, unfriendly, resentful after 20 years, and then got even worse after another 15 because he really could not see what it was doing to him--it was absolutely heart-breaking. Alcohol not only damages people, but at the same time it seems to make them impervious to being able to see that it IS damaging them. Talk about bad.
Aunt Barbara the reason I stayed away from that and other similar things is that I dont want to be a slave to them...usually people drink to numb themselves to reality..I dont want to feel the need to anesthetize my brain because reality is hard sometimes...if you cant be happy without a drug then you really need to change your reality...not take the drug for a temporary 'fix'...
Oh, definitely! I used to smoke pot, and it just made me even more unrealistic, lazy and immature than I was already, which was no help at all for my life!
40 and just quit drinking. I want this next part of my life to be even better! Drinking alcohol no longer fits in my life style. I got up to 300 lbs, and was wasting too much money and time with everything that revolved around it. Thanks for your video! =0)
I'm almost 60 years old & never drank alcohol. I think alcohol ages you faster, cause most individuals think I'm in my early 40's, mainly cause I don't have white hair & few wrinkles. 😁
When I choose not to drink, my trick for getting the drunks to stop pressuring me to drink is to offer to do a shot with them (I ALWAYS order these shots so that I'm in control of the situation). I ask the drunks what kind of shots they want, then I go to the bar, order real shots for them, and secretly order a cranberry shot for myself. This way, I don't have to be harassed by the drunks all night b/c they think I'm drinking an alcoholic shot, and I don't have to compromise on my decision to stay sober. It's a win-win, and it works EVERY time!
ParallaxView111 Not really. You know what's it's like when people are drinking and having fun. They want everyone else to have fun with them. They mean no harm. But instead of saying "no thanks. I'm not drinking tonight" a million times, I find this cranberry shot trick is soooo much easier.
OcchioniApotropaici They're perfectly respectful and understanding when they're sober, and it's not necessarily friends who do it. Often, it's random people you meet at the bar, or work colleagues, etc., who don't know you as well. Alcoholics are horrible for pressuring others to drink. I just find this is an easy way to keep the mood light and carefree by not having to scream "I'M NOT F**KING DRINKING TONIGHT!!! GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK, F**KING HEAD ALREADY!!!". That spoils everyone's mood. Plus, the cranberry shots are free, so you can't go wrong ☺
I used to drink regularly every weekend with friends for years and used to get totally smashed. But now if I even have only 1 beer, I will literally have a hangover for 2, 3 or sometimes even 4 days! So now I do not drink at all. It's unbelievable the pressure I've gotten from other people when they see me ordering just a seltzer water. When I explain the bad effects, I've had multiple people tell me they wouldn't know how to carry on living if they couldn't drink anymore. How sad is that?! Alcohol is so toxic and has destroyed so many lives. Yet binge drinking is encouraged and glamorized endlessly in movies, tv, music, everywhere. I fell into that trap for many years and thought I was so cool because I could drink so much. It's a sad state of society.
I used to be a partyer.. I dont have really any friends anymore. They still party Not me. I am glad though I'm better off solo where I can focus on my goals.. and it keeps me away from their negativity and gossip about ppl. I say eat the crabs if they try to bring you down! I think crab is healthy? lol
heck yeah i was in the Military and we drank like it was our job.. and it only led to being broke.. hung over and angry. it also led to poor decisions for many of my fellow warriors who got girls pregnant at a young age when we were on active duty. many military brothers i knew were either involved in an alcohol related incident or were in a car wreck due to drunk driving. and i know of one good friend who died from a car crash. and he was a really good dude. i myself do not drink anymore either. i train hard i attend college and i do a lot of reading and i run and hike and scuba dive. and for a certified scuba diver Alcohol and diving don't mix. :)
Thanks for this video. I don't drink alcohol, but ppl assume that I do because I socialize and go to parties sometimes. I come across some disappointing faces at times when they find out I don't drink. Some ppl dont seem to understand that you can still have a great time without being a drunk mess.
You just shared my exact thoughts on alcohol! Thank you so much! I'm about to turn 40, I'm still in fitness competitor shape, and look/feel better than I did in my 20s when I drank a lot. Thank you for being authentic too, integrity is a lost art in this world. We love you, keep up the good work!
"Crabs in a bucket" syndrome definitely summarizes a lot of my friends. I work at a restaurant so everyone's idea of socializing is hitting the bar after work. It's tough.
i dont get how people can regularly drink and workout. i feel terrible the day after drinking and being in a dehydrated state does mean i can not workout as hard. so i dont drink that often anymore.
I agreee. As an inline skater, alcohol would just tear up my performance to pieces. Especially going long distances everyday in the city, I would hate to get hung over in the morning and continue onto my trek. I just don't see the appeal in alcohol. A lot of people who drink say, "you're not living life if you don't get drunk at least once in your life." I prefer to travel the world, meet new people, and see new places. That's livin life in my book.
hm, Lavender EO relaxes you alcohol doesn't "relax" anybody baths, massages, even running- are all relaxing too, even staying Quiet in solitude have relaxing benefits. People get "pushy" because they feel inadequate ...Peace...
If we drink we will die. And if we don't drink we will die. So we might as well say what the hell and let our glasses clink. Whatever your name you'll be dying just the same. So as long as we are going to die it is better if we drink.
This February 4th I will have made it a year without alcohol. I went through a very hard time last year and was having a bottle of wine on a bad weekend night. I new I would be hungover the next morning and end up feeling worse. I decided that night that was the last of alcohol I would drink. I woke up and swapped drinking for a gym membership. Fitness really was a mind thing for me. It helped my anxiety so much. It brought me out of my depression and made me feel in control again. With that said....I fell off. Got too busy...was involved with the wrong people. And had a hibernating season and now I'm ready to get back on track. Your videos are helping me so much. Thank you. I will not give up this time.
Love this video! I very much respect you for your position. As I'm sure you've experienced, it can get very difficult in social settings revolving around the bar scene. When I decided to cut out the drinking (and this was before I had even made it to 21) It was extraordinarily bizarre to my peers that I wasn't going wild on my 21st or partaking in the big drinking holidays or even just having a beer! I struggled for awhile with that feeling of being "left out" as well. Now- I don't believe there's anything wrong with drinking in moderation- having a glass of wine with dinner, having a beer with friends, all that jazz; live it up, enjoy the spice of life; however, every individual has to evaluate whether or not having that glass of wine or beer or cocktail, fits in with their lifestyle and overarching goals. For me, I have an awful family history concerning substance abuse. I myself, have had issues in the past with limiting intake- I just couldn't say no! And, at the bottom line, I just don't feel well when I drink. I can have one drink, and feel hungover the next day- which lowers my performance, not just in the gym but in all areas of my day! But it's not like that for everyone! So for me, drinking just doesn't fit. Anyway, my apologies for this novel of a comment- I just love your message! Keep on rockin and rollin!
This is the first video I've watched of yours and I completely agree with you. My vision in life seems similar to yours and I appreciate you taking the time to explain why you feel the way you do about alcohol. It helps to know I'm not the only one out there who doesn't want to drink. I have a hard time finding true friends in college because everyone wants to drink and go out. Thanks for being an inspiration. You're helping more people than you know.
Brenda you are telling the truth, many years ago I did a test to see if I could stop drinking, well I did but i lost a lot of friends from not drinking.
'Sounds llike the kind of "friends" whom you were better off not having. The only people worth your time, are the people who accept you for who you are.
Thank you beautiful for this video! I was actually planning to make a video like this next week!!! Monday marks 30 days no alcohol for me and I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER WITH MY DECISION! :) Here in Hollywood, it's around me all day but I have been saying no and I feel amazing! My workouts show way better results and my face/skin look better! My life is just WAY better lol. Hope to meet you one day! :)
I love going out occasionally with my girls for a drink, but I can't stand people who do the crabs in the bucket scenario. While I do like having fun with alcohol, I don't do it often and when I go to a party just to hang out sober, the people who pressure you to drink just ruin the fun. Some people simply can't believe in having some booze around once a month, not every weekend. I'm eighteen and especially my generation places so much emphasis on alcohol and having a good time, but not all of us like that association all the time. My pact with my friends is that if someone doesn't feel like drinking you support them! Pressuring leads to dangerous situations like blacking out and even alcoholism. Brenda is right, drinking is a very personal choice and peer pressure is just wrong.
+Maddy Harvey when your generation gets to middle age you are going to see a huge spike in bad health in society...but hey there are consequences in life.
Amazing, i totally agree with everything your saying! Alcoholism runs in my family too, though I have never been addicted, alcohol has always been a hit and miss experience for me. When I am sober, i feel confident, in control of my emotions and able to converse how i want. When i drink, sometimes it's the opposite, even after one drink. I have been to some of the best parties, bars and clubs in the world,however those are not the memories that stay in my mind, it's the sober ones I remember. Now at the age of twenty five, I am ready to move on and experience life on a purer level, away from alcohol. Looking forward to improving myself socially, and as a person... The trick now is finding interesting activities outside of work to fill my time with ;) Again props to people who can drink occasionally and enjoy it.
Exactly! We're blessed with brains (Aqal) that can reason out based on what we see what alcohol does to people..so why do it if it brings more harm than good. I was blessed to have been brought up with Islamic faith that does not allow Muslims to consume anything intoxicating based on the consequences but as we grow older, we realise why it is not allowed in the first place. You managed to use that Aqal..and that is a true testament of being a good human being; loving yourself. I hope I make sense. Love your positivity! So invigorating and infectious!
This is the most inspirational video I've seen for a long time, and from one so young! I think that with your mindset you are destined for an awesome life!!! Well done for living and expressing your truth. Keep on that high vibration - all best wishes to you xx
Alcohol abuse runs in my family, and that is why I don't drink alcohol because of that reason. And this video I understand her point of view of not drinking and she has a point. My dad and mom were alcoholics including my older brother. And my sisters and I suffer from that. And when we go out like she mentioned in this video your friends start acting weird and in my case they called me party pooper, stuck up and conceited bitch. But they don't know my story why I don't drink alcohol. So, this video is very inspiring and very true. I just wish I people weren't so judgemental on people who don't drink. By the way love all your videos much love girl.
I quit years ago and do not miss it. My skin is amazing and I’m 46...so I don’t need anything toxic in my body. I want to feel and look as young possible. It’s important to be healthy and plan to stay that way.
I completely related with this video I actually hated drinking and I would always hear about all these things I would miss out on. It took a few years but I now realise that's not the kind of life I want and I wasn't having fun so really wasn't missing out on anything.
this video is so refreshing!! I also don't drink alcohol, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who believes in this, as you and a lot of other people who are also commenting feel the same way...yay!! :)
7 years later and I *still* come back to watch this video. Who else? Sooo good and relevant, everytime I see this I remember whole heartedly why I don’t give a damn about alcohol and feel sooo relieved. 👑
I don't drink EVER, but I have gone to parties with friends who did drink-and you'd swear we'd been to two different parties if you heard us talk about them the next day. I guess my point is, if you drink then consider the possibility that you might not be having as much fun as you think you've been having. You should be able to talk to your friends without having to stay up half the night, waste $80 AND feel like crap the next day. Just saying.
I've been sober almost 17 months and it feels great. Still have allot personal work to clear the noise in the head and try to clear the vast memories of persuasion catching the low self esteem given in with my mirror to the world. It's still a pain to think about. But damn, getting the fitness goals in perspective without giving enough effort is frustrating. It's complex but you got a positive attitude. I'm praying I find friends like you soon. It will be a seemingly frightening change. But shifting my habits to the ultimate life of sobriety, fitness, and above all... fighting the gremlin in the head allot of us are familiar with.
Well said! I myself, am an alcoholic. I'll be sober 3 years in 2 weeks! Much to my dismay, I've gained a lot of weight since becoming sober. :( Your videos are inspiring me and I'm ready to get started!!
I love this video! "Crabs In The Bucket" is a great example of allowing people to pull you down to their level. Don't allow others to jeopardize your ultimate self. You define who you are going to be.
Awesome video!! I loved what you had to say. :) Nothing against anyone who enjoys drinking, but the cycle of drinking and waking up hungover is not worth it. I would rather wake up in pain from sore muscles, than wake up feeling sluggish and wanting to sleep in all day. Great talk girl! Subscribed!
Thank you for the amazing video! I’m cutting alcohol completely off, just bc friends do it doesn’t mean you have to! I’d rather study for my future then drink and set myself back. They say alcohol isn’t bad but really it is! You’re so wise and beautiful
I like to flip it around on my friends. When they're like "come on lets drink", I'll tell them no thanks and then they proceed to tell me how much of a pussy I am. Next morning when they are all hang over I'll call and ask them to go to the gym with me. When they refuse I throw their comments from them the previous night right back at them.
There is nothing wrong with drinking; it's the excessive consumption that is the problem. If you want to drink, have at it but do not disrespect the one who decides to abstain. Know your limits.
I think the crabs in a bucket analogy is incorrect. They are not trying to "bring you down", because as you said, there is nothing wrong with drinking. What they are doing is being inconsiderate jerks, whom also feel like you are silently judging them.
I stopped drinking about 12 years ago, and it was definitely one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. I love your comment, "It's OK to not drink." Amen! It's OK to not follow the crowd. Thanks for your videos, they are super helpful and encouraging! :)
If you go to alcohol when you're stressed then I think that makes you an alcoholic lol. You do not have to drink when you're stressed, there are other ways to relieve stress.
No you dont need alcohol for stress, and if your way of dealing with stress is to become impaired than you have created an additional problem to the one you already had. The best ways to deal with stress is to talk it out with someone you trust or a counselor.
ma b Yup, thats the point I was trying to get across. I hate when people say "I've had such a bad/long day I need a drink" or "I'm so stressed I got to get drunk" ...no you really don't. I'm sure intoxicating yourself will just pose more problems.
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRENDA FOR THIS VIDEO. I've come to the realization (with this awesome video) that I don't have to drink alcohol of I don't want to. It doesn't matter how much people push me to do it. Isn't that suppose to be the perk of being out of high school! The reason why Im saying this is because it's been so hard for me to say no to people cause ....let me break this down: I live in the heart of Miami (where people live for drinking), my mom's family is Cuban, so are my friends and friends of the family, and my dad's family is Honduran, so alcohol is like a must. They ALWAYS pressure me to drink alcohol so I can "relax," even my mom (I'm 25 by the way) cause she says I need to "chill"! Isn't that interesting. So thank you Ms. Brenda. Now I can stand up to every body and tell them "NO, thank you," cause being better is my true reason to not drink the stuff. I love being clear, focused, analytical, and autonomous. I can't do that if I drink.
I am six months sober and every aspect of my life as improved! I am back down in weight, more focused in school and work and just feel GREAT! thank you for the video! it is empowering to not drink and stand outside the norm!
What a great video! This was the biggest thing I had to deal with in the business world and finally learned how to handle it. But for a long time I was considered a stick in the mud for not drinking at our company's social events. They would make it a game to get me to drink. Older and wiser. Great channel!
That's so sad! How old are these colleagues of yours? I mean, imagine if you were a recovering alcoholic and they didn't know - how insensitive that would be of them to try and get you to drink! I would never pressure anyone to drink for the simple reason that a lot of people who don't drink are recovering alcoholics and that would just be absolutely horrible to do!
Wise words.. I've had the same anxiety about "missing the party" and I also hate losing those "2 days".. I was actually just telling myself that tonight.. that it seems like I always lose "2 days" each time I drink.. I'm 30 now. I've drank about once a week or once every other week since college. I had some breaks of a few months in there when I was training hard, but for the most part, I've been a weekend warrior. I have both training & professional goals that I wish to accomplish this year, so I'm going to get serious about not going out so much & cutting out alcohol. Thank you very much for posting this.
+Alexis Castaneda I drank never went alcoholic with it but at some point I started to convulse, so the doctor forbid alcohol! Even if I get cured I will never drink alcohol in my life!
Kudos to you. Im a drinker but I don't pressure my non drinking buddies to. I always encourage them on their decisions even when they have their moments and I ll refuse to give them a sip of my wine. I like the way wine taste but I know how to control my consumption and respect others. I just happen to come across this video and it put a smile on my face.
I recently stopped drinking for 2 months and its amazing how much I get done and take more actions on making my goals come true. I read more I practice more my craft I go to the gym more often like 6 times this week .. when I work out I just crush it .. I feel soooo much better I meditate every morning . like its life changing im so happier too .. now LAst night I went out eating with few a chiks and I drank couple beers .. well after the first beer I could feel my brain just go like Numb and i did not feel good ...so I kept drinking and it just got worst... like you say NOT OPTIMAL .. exactly how I felt and Feel this morning .. . im actually glad I drank last night... I can understand better the Why I am choose right now to quit alcool forever r :) I choose to always be at my most optimal state and to work hard to reach my full potential ... by the way first time I see you but you look very healthy and pretty .. have a beautiful day
+yt ofso hmm, substituting one drug for another isn't the best advice. THC in weed can lead to mental illness in later life, like anxiety, depression and psychosis. sounds like this channel isn't the right one for you. imho.
I've been sober for over a year now and will not be going back, for pretty much the same reasons as you. Your experience is almost dead on with mine as far as the social aspect of it, but I could really care less what others think of me. You also start to ask yourself a few months down the road why you still hangout with those "friends" that are really just nothing more than drinking associates, you have to ditch the bad in your life and find like-minded people. Instead of going to a bar try going to a coffee house or tea spot, outdoor activities etc. Solid vid, thanks.
I'm an alcoholic I wish I can stop and get healthy For my little kids and husband I know is going to be fking hard But for people like you that show me That is possible not to give up Thank you
I used to drink a lot when I was younger. Let's be real though. Most of us DRINK because it's SOCIABLY ACCEPTABLE to do so. Don't sit there and act like at least one friend in your life wasn't a motivator (or enabler rather...) for to drink in a social setting. This is a universal acceptance. Americans, Asians, Europeans...drinking is a social thing. That's why most people get addicted to it. As I got older though, I had to admit something. I don't and never have liked the taste of alcohol. It's flipping disgusting actually. I drank to get drunk. The only alcohol I will drink now is a little bit of wine on occasion. Cutting out alcohol also lost me 15lbs! So I'm happy about that.
Wow, I love how people instantly get defensive when commenting on this video. If you drink, fine. However, the point of this video is that she's giving us HER personal reasons for not drinking. And about judging...are you all seriously going to lie and say you don't judge people who have different viewpoints from you? Of course you do. It's a natural, human thing to do. The real issue is how you handle that judgment. Do you try to bully people and make them feel ashamed of themselves for their beliefs? Or do you just say, "Well if that's what you want to do, that's fine, but I'll do it another way"? It's not easy to do all the time, but I try my hardest to go with the second one.
I have never drank alcohol and never will because I believe it's a waste of time and money and I personally think you don't need it to have a good time. No disrespect to anyone that does drink but that's just my opinion. I really I appreciate this video, it's nice to know that there are other people out there that don't drink and share the same views and values as myself. X
I agree with purple all theese fitness gurus live such a boring lifestyle don't even go out eat food or drink boring boring and their personalities r boring!
Nice video. I work in a profession where there is a LOT of alcohol consumption. When I go out, I order water in a glass decorated as if it is a spirit. So, most people who see my drink, assume that I am drinking alcohol. The only person that knows that I'm drinking water is the server. It also helps me avoid having the conversation about why I'm not drinking alcohol. Its interesting to observe how people act and what they say when they are under the influence of alcohol. Before it gets too crazy...I leave.
It's really weird isn't it how the only drug that people question it if you don't use it is alcohol. How did it come about that everyone is expected to drink and you have to give an excuse for not drinking? Very strange. Especially when the same people who interrogate others for not drinking are probably the same people who would judge people for drinking too much and getting drunk or becoming alcoholics.
The problem with people who don't drink is that many of you are often condescending towards the people who do .....and you come across as very condescending in this video. Those of us who do imbibe aren't the ones pestering those of you who don't .....I definitely think it's the other way around and judging from the comments on this video and the undertone of your attitude, I'd say I am most certainly correct.
i agree that people who don't drink can seem condescending, but ALSO people who do drink DEFINITELY do harass others....I decided not to drink something the other day because my stomach had bad acid reflux....and these two guys that were friends with my boyfriend told me that I was "lame" and not fun and that I was too concerned with weight loss....what the hell? there are other reasons people don't want to drink. it's a toxin that makes my stomach feel sick a lot. people who drink have done nothing but harass me throughout my life. I HATE IT and am sick of it. If I feel sick and don't drink, leave me the hell alone for christ's sake.
MathandMakeup I think it goes both ways. I, personally, respect personal choice and don't engage in harassment of others who choose not to drink. There are some of us drinkers who do. I just have a real big problem with the non-drinkers .....every last one of them (except one) that I have ever encountered was condescending. I don't care if you don't drink, but don't look your snooty nose down at me because I do. It's one of my biggest pet peeves in life, lol, especially when someone young like me, in their 20s does it......
I don't "look down on people with my snooty nose". sometimes I just choose not to drink b/c my stomach feels sick. I have a bad stomach and the yeast in beer causes problems as does liquor for acid reflux. if thats condescending to you then I'm not sure what to tell you. there ARE other reasons other than snooty people for why others don't drink. this is the last time i'm commenting on this video to say this. i'm done arguing about pointless things. i was merely trying to make a point that there ARE other reasons not to drink and tha ti'm SICK of getting made fun of and having alcohol forced down my throat by the alcoholics in my family. that is all. have a wonderful day everyone and I hope you do what makes you happy.
MathandMakeup I wasn't arguing with you though, so why the hostility in your response? I wasn't using "you" in reference to you, because I do not know you personally; my usage of the word "you" was figurative as if I were speaking to a non-drinker that I know myself. No need to be hop on the defense. I've already stated my position on the matter as have you. This isn't a debate or a court trial - you have your point of view and I have mines .....no arguments necessary, end of story!
I love your ethics! I am the same way, I like to uphold a certain standard for myself and also inline with what I say to other people. I don't drink often, but I have been thinking of quitting drinking completely.
Brenda!! Wow this video could not have better timing. I have not had even a sip of alcohol for two months. I personally never had a drinking problem, but like you it runs in my family (heavily) and I was beginning to notice how awful it made me feel when I did drink. Now two months later, I'm so happy about that decision and planning on sticking with it. I just wanted to say thank you for making this video and I now have even more respect for you (if that's possible!). Love and light! -Olivia
Thanks Brenda! I have struggled with this for ages. Personally I hate drinking for the same reasons as you. Its great to hear someone passionately talking about their views xx
Reduces insulin sensitivity, increases cortisol, suppresses growth hormone (youth/muscle hormone) release if drinking too soon before bed, has a direct toxic impact on type II muscle fibers, could potentially suppress lipolytic (fat burning) hormones, empty calories, causes a temporary halt of fat burning (body becomes an "alcohol burner" rather than "fat" burner). Red wine is the exception to all of this, and an occasional glass of red wine can be good for your heart health!
Exactly!!!! I went through the same thing in my early 20s. I'm 28 now. I was always into fitness and bodybuilding and have accomplished alot of personal physical goals, but the alcohol held me back a little bit from 23-25ish. And nobody could understand why i didn't want to drink with them anymore. Now I''ve been 6 months sober, and hellbent on reaching my ultimate physical goal. But awesome video, finally something that I can relate to!!
Awesome video! My favorite part about not drinking at the bar is coming home and still feeling so motivated to exercise or work on improving my skills. It's funny how nowadays that feeling of motivation makes me feel higher than drinking ever could. I like the crabs in the bucket reference, I know that all too well.
Great video Brenda! I Dont drink for the same reason you stated. People always look at me like I am missing out on life. I started my healthy lifestyle a year ago and haven't had a drink since. You have made such a difference in my life. Please keep producing great content. I recommend your channel to everyone who is curious about my 30lb weightloss.
If someone is not supportive of you trying to do something, such as cutting out all the bad stuff from your life...you need to reassess your life and make better friends.
My first time watching your channel and I just have to say that I really LOVE this video, so smart!!! It's amazing even as an adult how much pressure there is to "hang out and just have a few!" It's like they are saying that I will be a drag if i'm not drinking. The truth is I will be a drag because I surrounded by drunks! :) Thanks for the great video!
awesome advice...i'm a college student and im literally pressured every single day. Watching this video really makes me proud of the choices of been making and to continue on with my actions. You inspire me!
that was very sincere from you, the way you started talking about it in the beginning of the video I thought you were full of it, but you're really not so... thanks for this, your honesty is refreshing
its amazing how we have to protect people from judging themselves... because they compare their drinking fun with our exercise fun and think we are judging them because they want to be active too, just not after drinking and the cycle continues. ..tried to do shots, with water for me, and I looked like the weirdo. .whatever ..i don't explain... now. .i just say "I've got my drink, cheers!" (and most of the time, it is water) Thanks for sharing
